There probably should have been a slashing call on that third goal though. That’s an automatic call in the regular season if it’s in the offensive zone and leads to a scoring chance.

Before that they had only a slight advantage in shot attempts. Seems to me that the Ducks weren’t dominated as much as they changed their game plan and went into “defend the lead” mode in the 3rd.

Dallas is only dominating in losses right now

Mon, 21 Apr 2014 20:20:59 +0000http://prohockeytalk.nbcsports.com/?p=2326170#comment-309402We found out quickly that the Ducks have an “unsustainable” PDO for a reason — they’re extremely good at taking advantage of opportunities. Dallas has dictated the play for about 75% of the first two games combined, and have truly outplayed the Ducks for large stretches, but the Stars are a young team that makes plenty of mistakes that have been leading to Ducks goals. The Ducks have been content to lean on their goaltender and wait for those opportunities. Once the Ducks run into a more mature team that doesn’t make those mistakes – say, the Bruins, or the Blues – they will be toast. That PDO bubble will inevitably burst once they come up with a team that knows how to handle them. Whether Dallas can adapt quickly enough is the question.

Mon, 21 Apr 2014 20:12:15 +0000http://prohockeytalk.nbcsports.com/?p=2326170#comment-309395We’ll see, I think it’s got to do with the Size and speed of the Ducks only few teams can match. Boudreau is a great coach adn the Ducks are a solid team, if anything the Stars’ stars need to bring their game.

Perry and Getzlaf are so dominating that you can only minimize the damage, and the Ducks have a deep team. Dallas is no match for the much stronger Ducks.
